The Jussie Smollett Story Looks Like Another Fake ‘Hate
Crime’ – and the Media Keep Peddling Them.

The media fall for fake "hate crimes" every time, even
when the facts don’t add up. Because they want so desperately for
it to be true. Anything to push their war on Trump and his
supporters. Published on Feb 18, 2019

Virtually everyone knows America has a big illegal
immigration problem. But we also have a legal immigration problem:
Current U.S. immigration policy is not serving the best interests
of America. Is there a way to protect American citizens and still
welcome newcomers to our shores? Reihan Salam offers an insightful
solution.

Script: I am the proud son of immigrants from
Bangladesh. I was raised in New York City, which has benefited
enormously from the energy and ambition of the millions of people
born abroad who’ve chosen to make it their home. But I also believe
that America’s immigration system needs to work for America, and
right now, that is simply not the case. We need a new immigration
system. So what should it be? We’re often presented with two stark
choices: Severe restrictions or open borders. I think there’s a
better way. But before I offer a solution, let’s look at the usual
suspects. The case for open borders is, on the surface, pretty
attractive. Tens of millions of people around the world would be
grateful to come to America for the chance to live in peace and
earn a decent living. The vast majority of them mean us no harm.
Why not give them a chance to share in the blessings of liberty?
The simple answer is that our country is more than just a
marketplace. We’re a democracy based on a social contract.
Americans pay taxes so that, among other things, the poorest, most
unlucky among us can still lead decent and dignified lives. If you
can’t work, you might be eligible for unemployment benefits or
disability. If you do work but your paycheck doesn’t go far enough
for you to afford medical care or food for your kids, we have a
safety net designed to help you stay afloat. Liberals and
conservatives disagree on how extensive this safety net ought to
be, but they all agree it needs to be there. The question is, how
we far are willing to stretch it? A century ago, immigrants who
found they couldn’t make it in America had little choice but to go
back home. That is no longer the case. These days, immigrants who
can’t earn enough to support their families have access to many
government benefits. That doesn’t make them bad people. In an age
of offshoring and automation, wages for menial jobs don’t go very
far. If we only admitted a modest number of low-skill
immigrants—say, as political refugees—we could easily handle it.
But over the past forty years, we have allowed millions of
low-skill immigrants into the country, both legally and illegally.
While highly-educated immigrants pay far more in taxes than they
consume in benefits, the opposite is true of immigrants with less
than a high school diploma Immigrant engineers working for Google,
Amazon and Apple do just fine without government help. The
immigrant janitors and busboys who serve them struggle to afford
housing and to give their kids a decent start in life. Without
government aid, many would go hungry. If we were to open our
borders, the number of low-skilled immigrants would skyrocket, and
so too would the cost of meeting their needs. Ironically, this
would only exacerbate the wealth disparity that so animates the
open borders crowd. Maybe the rich could wall themselves off in
gated communities. But the growing ranks of the poor and even the
middle class would have to deal with ever more strained social
services. That could provoke resentment strong enough to set off
real class warfare. If open borders are a bad idea, so too is
severely restricting immigration. For one, immigration has always
been part of the American story. And it continues to be an
essential source of talent, from Silicon Valley to medicine to pro
sports. Why shut ourselves off from the dynamism and energy that
immigrants can bring? Thankfully, there is a way to fix this
problem. For the complete script, visit https://www.prageru.com/videos/americ...
